Slimming World has raised more than £1.2m for Cancer Research UK and the Irish Cancer Society* via ‘The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw’.

Back for the first time in three years, the previously annual fundraiser took place over a two-week period in May 2022 and saw Slimming World Consultants and members donate clothes to the charities’ stores, including those they’ve successfully slimmed out of.

As well as taking part in the activity, five members who found a golden donation bag also had a money-can’t-buy prize as a thank you for helping to raise money for Slimming World’s charitable partners. Each of the winning members was treated to an overnight stay in the capital, a personal styling appointment with a top stylist and a shopping voucher to help them to replace the clothes they slimmed out of.

Slimming World’s deputy marketing manager, Clare Lee, who organises the national fundraising campaign, said: “It has been absolutely fantastic to be able to bring back The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw this year and we are so very proud of all of our Consultants and members who went out of their way to help support Cancer Research UK and the Irish Cancer Society.”

*£1,218,808.00 was raised in the UK for Cancer Research UK, and €81,000 for the Irish Cancer Society in the Republic of Ireland.
